Overview:
Graffiti Markup Language (.gml) is a universal, XML-based, open file format designed to store graffiti motion data (x coordinates, y coordinates and time). The format is designed to maximize readability and ease of implementation for even hobbyist programmers, artists and graffiti writers. Popular applications currently implementing GML include Graffiti Analysis and EyeWriter. Beyond storing data, a main goal of GML is to spark interest surrounding the importance (and fun) of open data and introduce open source collaborations to new communities. GML is intended to be a simple bridge between ink and code, promoting collaborations between graffiti writers and hackers. GML is today’s new digital standard for tomorrow’s vandals.

History:
The idea of recording graffiti motion data and saving it in a text file as a series of X,Y and time coordinates started back in 2003 with Evan Roth’s original version of Graffiti Analysis. Graffiti Analysis (the current version of which can be viewed here) is open source software designed for digitally archiving and displaying graffiti motion data. The idea of defining, standardizing and opening this data type came in the summer of 2009 in conversations between Evan Roth, Theo Watson, Chris Sugrue and Jamie Wilkinson. The first two projects released using the GML standard were Graffiti Analysis 2.0 and the initial version of the EyeWriter. The Free Art & Technology Lab (FAT Lab) hosted the first GML Week in January 2010. Since then dozens of third party applications have been developed by open source hackers and almost 20,000 gml tags have been uploaded to #000000book (the open .gml database).

A friend just sent me the link to one of your videos and I was reminded of how awesome your work is (I first saw it a few months ago).

I run a volumetric printing service — we make prints from digital files, a bit like the next generation of holograms. We just launched at SXSW. Check us out here:

I’d love to print some of your work volumetrically. Looking forward to hearing from you.
